38 miles of the Belgian border
today, battling on the approaches
to Laon in a quick rollback of
Germans retreating from the

To the west, the German high

evacuated. British spearheads bit as

Two great allied wings were
swiftly slicing up northern France.
The United States third arm:\
rolling northeast of Paris from two
bridgeheads over the Aisne at
Eoissons and Pont-Arcy, 14 miles
farther east, struck within two miles
of Laon. 19 miles below Seise:.s
The Belgian border was but 38
miles ahead of these columns pick-

Doughboys Clean Vitry
Other untls of Lieutenant Gen-
eral George 8. Patton's army pene-
trated to Montalgu, 10 miles so nth-
east of Laon and 50 miles from
Sedan—gate of the Nazi break-
through into France in 1840.
East of Paris the doughb's
cleaned up Vitry on the upper
Marne. It is 96 miles from the
Oerman frontier and 45 from Ver-
dun. They captured Chalons, north-
west of Vitry, supreme headquar-
ters said.
Germans, bypassed and cut up
by lightning armored strokes, were
being killed or seized by mop-up
columns in a great area northeast
and east of Paris.
Harbor Reported Destroyed
Supreme headquarters did not
confirm immediately the fall of
Roen. Berlin said all harbor in-
stallations there had been des-
troyed. The Germans also said all
the seventh army remnants had
been pulled back across the Seine-
from the disastrous trap in Nor-
mandy. Allied officers said some
Germans still were trapped In two
big loops of the Seine.
The strategic port of Le Havre
was rapidly being outflanked.
The battle for southern France
was nearing completion and the
two great allied invasion forces
liberating France now stood only
192 miles apart. The distance had
been narrowed by an American
push 16 miles beyond Troyes south-
east of Paris to Piney.
Lieutenant General Alexander M
Patch's seventh army fighting up
the Rhone valley engaged Germans
near the Drome river more than
110 miles above Marseille, hitting
as the enemy tried to escane
across that river which flows into
the Rhone.
